What is the Material compatibility in relation to refrigeration oils?
There are different types of refrigerant oils. Refrigerants such as R22 and R12 usually use mineral oil. But some of blended refrigerants like R410A can sometimes use a poly oil. These oils can not be blended together. So a system that already has a refrigerant with mineral oil must be charged with refrigerants with the same oil.
Floc in refrigeration oil is wax that has separated out from oil containing parathene.
Oil
The traction coefficient in relation to refrigeration oils refers to the measure of the oil's ability to maintain a film between moving surfaces under load, which influences the efficiency of compressors in refrigeration systems. A higher traction coefficient indicates better lubrication properties and reduced friction, leading to improved energy efficiency and performance of the refrigeration cycle. This characteristic is essential for ensuring reliable operation and longevity of the equipment, particularly in systems with high-pressure and low-temperature conditions.
Polyester (POE) Oil
Oil in a AC compressor is there so that the mechanical parts don't over heat from friction
mineral oil
To return oil to the compressor.
